Yeah pretty much. It obviously depends on your company’s continuity priorities but you’re going to have a pretty hard time doing a better job of backing up databases and keeping them safe per dollar than Amazon does.

Nice. Do drive next!

Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.

This looks great. Where’d you find it?

Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.

I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.

To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:

In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.

I think that’s how they said “gold digger” ~2700 years ago

That would be illegal. This is in a gray area

It’s probably to avoid paying tolls, assuming the auto tag readers can’t figure out the font

I laughed out loud at this. Thank you.

S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke

Ah yes, I know the feeling well. I know it sounds crass, but I see this as one of the features of Arch.

Solving this will teach you things about your computer, and computers at large, that you’d otherwise never encounter.

If your box breaks due to updates often, one of two things is wrong:

• You have a brittle install that relies on low quality or conflicting packages
• Your procedure for updating needs refinement

Let me tell you what I mean by that:

• if you build a lean system that only contains the necessary dependencies for your use case, it should be easy to track down where your issue originated.
  • Use dmesg or journalctl to search for problems
• When you update, you should read the output of your terminal and respond to it. It will typically let you know if there’s any issues.

I wouldn’t be half the sysadmin I am today if I hadn’t spent literal weeks fixing things I broke by upgrading, changing something and rebooting, or similar practice.

The next level is finding the commits to the FOSS responsible for your problem, and pushing the fix yourself.

That being said, there have been several occasions when Arch will post an update on their homepage titled “Manual intervention required”. Following the contained advice, if you’re affected by the issue, will usually be the easiest path forward.

I know you came here looking for answers, I’m sorry, I don’t have them for you. What I do have is encouragement, and the wisdom of someone who’s gone through the same gauntlet you’re going through now. Stick with it. You will succeed if you try hard enough, and it is worth it in the end.

My solution is to host a virtual machine with my dev workstation, and use Windows or Mac for business admin stuff like email, slack, etc.

Are you sure there’s a conspiracy here, and not just a bunch of folks laughing at and copying a popular meme format?

Because its funny, I like Taylor a lot, no one is totally guiltless. This isn’t about making people accountable, its about making people laugh.

Got a link? That sounds extremely interesting!

It doesn’t have to be a compromise

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?

This reminds me of when I made spaghetti and meatballs pizza. It was amazing. The spaghetti crisped up slightly on the edges, creating a satisfying crunch. Will make again.
